lol, yeah you did, my bad.
And yeah on the other jobs. Always best to round up which it looks like you did.
JMO but i think the crank pulley swap would have a better/bigger impact on the 7AT than the 6MT. Not that it wouldn't benefit the MT.
I did the 3 piece pulley swap on my Mustang, crank, water pump, and alternator, and it was a solid mod. Noticed much better throttle response but honestly couldn't tell you if it helped in the HP/TQ department....

I think the cats ,catback, and RJM are a little off. He has a 13' so there is a good chance the cats can be done quickly; My cats were done in less than an hour. The catback can be done easily in an hour as well. If he has the RJM v3, it takes a good chunk of time away with the pre-assembly.
I'm not going to do it on this car. Can't see the point.

2.25" CBE / 18" inline / RHFC
Hotchkis Sways F/R
Stillen Crank Pulley/Belt
Red Grounding Kit
RJM CPA
Can't decide on coil brand.. need summers/rims but it's tough to choose an offset without knowing the drop

Little bit of both, the OEM pulleys are heavier than the aftermarket pulleys, but more so under driving the accessories....

Not a single cloud today in TX. I finally get a chance to wash the G, it's been raining quite a bit lately. Also, picking up a new spoiler for the G tomorrow morning.

$475 decent deal for coilover install/height adjustment + alignment?

If you have the means, I would try the DIY. You don't need expensive tools and it's good experience to have under your belt if you have suspension related noises down the line. Not to mention, when you have to adjust pre-load or height.

^ Agreed 100%
Although if you're set on having someone do it, 475 isn't bad. Assume 150-175 is the alignment (these are Bay Area prices with camber / toe kits), so the install is only 300. A few hours to put it in, plus a decent amount of time fiddling to get the height right, and you're right at the hourly rate for a good shop.
